Like everything in life, what one person loves another hates and vice versa.

The best thing to do is evaluate all the options suggested before commencing your project. If you do not have the luxury of time then pick one at random - just be prepared for someone always to say it is the end of the world because you did not choose their current favourite and so prepare to rot in Hell or an Indian call centre

The truth is that you can learn to program in any language. It's not like PHP won't work. After you learn many languages though, you're going to find that some do certain things better than others. What those things are is largely left up to opinion. (My opinion is that PHP isn't really good for anything, but other people's religious views may differ. )

You could decide to use <fill in language here> and be perfectly happy.

1) My friend knows VB would that be okay to use?
2) with php because its in with html can i not use html alone?
3) when I use the SQL how is put together ive only ever really touched on it in MS Access
4) If I used PHP what would I use to put the code in Dreamweaver or??? (I have made my own website not all singing all dancing one in notepad but I feel it wont suit here for all the code it will have...
5) I looked up PHP and didn't know what version to get and why are there more than 1 files in each version (do i need them all???)
7)when i downloaded it there was no installer what I do with it Im not used to installing without installers lol
